Channell Provides Updated Financial Guidance

TEMECULA, CA -- (MARKET WIRE) -- April 9, 2007 -- Channell Commercial Corp. (NASDAQ: CHNL), a
designer and manufacturer of telecommunications equipment supplied to
operators of communications networks worldwide and water harvesting
solutions distributed in markets throughout Australia, today announced
updated financial guidance for the first quarter of 2007 ended March 31,
2007.

Revenue for the quarter is now expected to be in the $33-$33.5 million
range versus prior guidance for revenues in the $32-$33 million range. On
a GAAP basis, the company now anticipates a range of a $0.02 loss per share
to break-even compared to prior guidance of a loss per share in the
$0.05-$0.08 range. The better-than-anticipated preliminary first quarter
performance is attributable to stronger demand and a more favorable product
mix in the Company's core domestic communications equipment business.

The Company expects to report final results at or near the filing date of
its form 10-Q with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the period
ended March 31, 2007 at which time it also expects to provide financial
guidance for the second quarter of 2007 and updated guidance for full year
2007.
